For The Compaq Ath(lon)ete:
In a couple of previous emails, I mentioned the slowdown of
the (Athlon) Compaq Presario 7998 in factoring and other Prime95
computations. The parasitic process, if that is what it was,
never showed up on my PV 2000 list of contendahs, but did
go away briefly when the modem began dialing out.
By accident I set Prime95 priority to "real," and the timing
dropped to what it should be. At 1GHz, a factor run from
2^53 through 2^65 takes just 26 hours. The mouse pointer
still moves, too.
Best Wishes,
Stefanovic
